Rebirth: Rising from the Far East

The four of them continued to walk along the river, talking about funny stories and jokes from their childhood.

It was dusk, and the lights along the river became brightly lit.

Suddenly, the sound of fireworks exploding into the sky came.

The four looked towards the voice.

With a sound, the fireworks scattered and covered the sky.

Looking at this scene, Yucheng imagined the time when fireworks and firecrackers were banned in Bingcheng 20 years later in his memory.

At this moment, time flies.

It's more like a dream.

"It's really Chinese New Year!"

(Just did the math, not counting the chapter about going home. The plot of New Year’s Eve has nine chapters. The things that were explained back and forth, the process of brothers’ heart-to-heart exchanges, and the planning and layout for the coming year are all crammed into these nine chapters. Excessive, isn’t it? (Uneasy) According to my plan, of course it’s best to finish this plot on New Year’s Eve, because the next plot is to go to New Year’s greetings, as well as the chaos in the Northeast and the peace of the chaos. It’s just right to write it for the end of the year. It’s just...well, my speed is really touching, so I apologize here. But if you guys, brothers and sisters, are satisfied with the plot since the update, you may wish to order it. Give some data, give a reward...well, forget it, the little author will continue to maintain stable updates, and once again wish everyone a happy new year, happy new year, today is the [-]th, and the study and work are going well) Yi.

Chapter 0354: Re-layout, there are so many good things in the island country (seeking full order, custom order)

On the first day of the new year, the traditional custom in China is not to travel far.

Generally, it is to pay New Year's greetings to parents and elders at home, and the younger generation can receive a New Year's money from the elders.

The so-called New Year's money is usually on the night of New Year's Eve, or the first day of the new year, when you say auspicious words during breakfast, the younger generation gets the New Year's money.

The New Year's money is also called pressed money.

Sneaky, Sneaky, suppressing Sneaky is naturally suppressing Sneaky, bless the juniors to spend the new year safely.

Xu is the meaning of bless peace.

Therefore, the amount of money is second.

This point is well preserved in the southern coastal cities, but they call the new year's money "Rishee".

Take the meaning of good luck.

Therefore, the people who can take Reese are no longer limited to children.

Therefore, the three of Yucheng and the others didn't get the New Year's red envelopes. Only Wang Wen and his girlfriend Xu Qianru, as newcomers, received a red envelope from the king's father, the queen mother, and Yu's mother.

Of course, this amount is nothing to Wang Wen and Xu Qianru.

What is important is the blessings of the elders to the younger ones.

Wang Wen also mentioned on the same day that he wanted to bring the two elders, Wang Zhongling and Yu Guo to Hong Kong Island to enjoy the blessings.

"Four Eight Zero" But, they were immediately rejected by the two, and even reprimanded Wang Wen.

On the contrary, the two little girls were naive and romantic, chasing after them to ask what fun things to do on Hong Kong Island, and whether it was like the one on TV.

Although the mainland has not yet introduced fashion films from Hong Kong Island.

But Yudong had already bought a set of color TV and video recorder for his home.

The videotapes on Hong Kong Island piled up all over the room.

Although there are not as many as in the vcd era of later generations, it is more than enough for the elders and two little girls in the family to enrich their entertainment life.

When seeing this video recorder, Yu Cheng was still in a daze.

Because of the cumbersome and expensive VCRs in this era, it is simply not affordable for ordinary families.

Of course, the reason why he was stunned was not because of the expensive video recorder.

Instead, I thought of its potential market.

Not the market for VCRs, but the market for DVD players.

DVD player refers to a series of audio-visual playback tools including video recorder, vcd, dcd, super vcd and so on.

As a substitute for video recorders, vcd is the cheapest among them, with the lowest technical content, and it is also a product that has influenced Chinese people for almost an era.

In his memory, vcd has become popular all over the country since 96, and it has spread rapidly to all surrounding countries.

At its peak, China even became the world's largest VCD exporter.

However, it is not domestic, but foreign VCD standard-setters who make big money in such a huge market.

When Optimus Technology developed the Walkman and arcade, he brought up the concept of VCD.

But the concept of vcd is worthless, and the only thing that is valuable is the image compression technology of MPEG.

Only with this technology can the audio-visual audio-visual be compressed onto a small disc, which can then be read by a machine.

The chip that reads this compressed file, that is, the CD core, has been invented long ago, but it needs to be reassembled.

So vcd is essentially just a CD movement plus a decoder, and then fixed on the shell, it constitutes a vcd.

Most of the patents for the CD movement are in the hands of Souni and Philips.

This is also the reason why Wan Yan became the pioneer of VCD in later generations, but it was jointly formulated by Suone, Philips, JVC, Panasonic and other electrical manufacturers in 1993, which belongs to the white paper standard of digital disc.

Because of this standard, it is stipulated that any production and sale of a VCD needs to pay a certain patent fee to the standard-setting organization.

Of course, in the 90s, Xia Guo had not yet joined the WTO, so the theory of patent fees was out of the question.

That is to say, from 96 to around 2000, the VCD business could make a lot of money.

However, there is really no technical content in it.

Wan Yan's so-called 2000 million R&D expenses and [-] million publicity expenses.

Yucheng is sure that it was either corrupted by some people in this company, or it was purely a cover.

According to Yucheng's guess, 2000 million, [-] million, all have to be discounted.

Then because the company has complex components and is a collective enterprise.

Therefore, there are more people with the right to speak.

There are more people who can make money.

Combined, it led to the tragedy of Wanyan's era.

However, vcd still earns a small amount of money, and the bulk is on the advanced version of DVD.

It's just that foreign technology companies have formulated a set of stricter rules in order to prevent the situation that VCD patent fees cannot be collected.

And the patent fee is even fixed.

As long as a DVD is exported to a foreign country, the patent fee is 25 US dollars.

But how much is the domestic export DVD price?

One is only thirty to forty dollars.

Therefore, it can be said that most of the profits in the entire DVD market have been earned by foreign companies, and they don't spend a penny.

If it weren't for the support of the domestic market, so many domestic companies might not be bothered to produce DVDs.

But fly meat is also meat.

It is the nature of businessmen to think that they can earn a little, and it is only natural that they are exploited by greater capital.

In order to avoid paying so much patent fees, the higher authorities took the lead in researching and developing a super VCD standard.

Just not much use.

Because when the super vcd came out, it was almost 08, and the Internet wave had already hit.

The era of DVD players has gradually declined with the advent of the Internet era.

But it's still '91, and the market hasn't even existed yet.

To create a market with a scale of tens of billions and hundreds of billions.

Whether it is R&D investment, specific publicity, or supporting facilities, they are all indispensable.

One of the purposes of Yucheng asking Wang Wen to build the world's largest Chinese-language film library is to obtain the copyrights for electronic recordings of these films and TV shows.

So as to pave the way for the vcd disc.

It can be said that as long as they are well prepared, they can earn nearly [-] billion Xia Guocoins just by selling VCD discs.

Of course, the premise of all this is that there are no pirated CDs.

Why were pirated CDs so rampant in previous lives?

The main reason is that Nima, a society in the 90s, didn't go to the streets to kill people and sell washing powder, but set up a small workshop and directly took the master disc of the film and television company and directly recorded it...  …

Then they are sold in bundles to the mainland, to Southeast Asia, and to Bend Island.

It can be said that the Chinese community is the largest producer of pirated copies.

Not to mention, after these pirated discs flow to the mainland, they will be pirated again.

The sound quality and picture quality of vcds are not very good. After all, the ones from Hong Kong Island are bootleg recordings, so they can still be watched.

The pirated recordings in the Mainland almost sometimes do not match the sound before and after.

But even so, it can't stand the lack of entertainment culture in the mainland, and the spiritual needs are too great.

So, if the mainland VCD market is crazy.

Then the disc market is simply crazy.

However, it is different now.

The New World established the kingship of the underground world of Hong Kong Island.

The next step is to establish the film library, which has established the legal principle of genuine film sources.

So, who dares to stretch this claw.

Of course, people are blind in the face of interests.

Once the vcd market is established, piracy must be inevitable.

However, Yucheng had already made plans in his heart.

He plans to learn about the key system of the movie theater, add anti-counterfeiting marks on the disc, and strictly control the outflow of decoding software.

It can even make a special fuss on VCD, and only genuine discs can be played on VCD.

Of course, in order to expand the market, he won't just let Qingtian's family produce VCDs, it's just a patent authorization.

The fact that a foreign company can't reap it doesn't mean he can't reap it.

The stupidity of later generations Wanyan is that they think VCD is a luxury,

Turning around, Yucheng told Wang Wen to speed up the purchase of film sources.

At the same time, he will also instruct Qingtian to speed up the research and development process.

If you can avoid the registered patent, you can avoid it. If you can't avoid it, there is no way.

"It seems that for the nearly [-] billion market, we have to go to the island country in advance."

Yucheng thought so.

After all, whether it is Sunny or Panasonic and other companies are in the island country, they have 5.7 patents in their hands.

Before developing the DVD player market, preparatory work must be done well.

Otherwise, if the news leaked out and the tragedy of Wan Yan was repeated, Yucheng would not be able to accept it.

Of course, the most unacceptable thing for him is to be picked by foreign companies.

"The matter of the steel factory is here. Qingtian still has a lot of technology that needs to be licensed from the island country, and then there is the game authorization and cooperation from Xiaobawang. The current vcd patent is a good thing from the island country. That's a lot!"

Yu Cheng sighed with a smile.

However, before he had even spoken a few serious words, he was reprimanded by Yu's mother, saying that those who celebrated the Chinese New Year would still talk about business, and there was no cleanliness.

After Yu Cheng smiled, the four of them stopped talking about DVD players.

The peaceful scene of a family chatting was completely broken with the sound of a car horn.

After a while, a person came in with a probe.

Seeing such a big family, he was not nervous.

Seeing Yu Cheng, his eyes lit up even more.

"Brother-in-law!"
